Registration is now open for Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College’s (SMWC) Reunion 2026. The weekend of fun and fellowship is set for May 15-17. All SMWC alumni are welcome to attend, especially the milestone years — classes with the year ending in a 1 or 6.
“We are looking forward to Reunion and seeing our alumni and friends back on campus,” said BJ Riley ’16, ’23MLD, ’24MBA, interim vice president for advancement. “It is heartwarming to hear the many stories that they have about their experience here at The Woods and to see the love that they have for the College.”
Alumni will arrive on campus Friday afternoon for a 1 p.m. check-in at the Les Bois Hall lobby. A welcome dinner will follow that evening with a Golden Jubilee reception for the Class of 1976.
Throughout the weekend, attendees will have opportunities to connect with friends and fellow classmates, as well as visit some of their favorite places on campus, both inside the buildings and outside at many of the beloved landmarks.
On Saturday, We Remember, We Celebrate, an event to honor classmates who have passed away, will be held in the Church of the Immaculate Conception. President Brennan Randolph and his cabinet will also host a conversation with alumni about the progress and vision for the College.
Reunion Weekend will conclude Sunday with Mass at 11 a.m. in the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
“We are already hard at work for Reunion 2026. There will be plenty of activities for our alumni to enjoy, and we’re looking forward to welcoming them back home,” said Heather Tighe, assistant director of advancement and marketing services.
On-campus housing will be in Les Bois Hall and offered first to the Class of 1976 and the Class of 2001, who will celebrate their 50th and 25th Reunions. Priority registration for those classes opened Feb. 17.
Although campus housing is restricted to no more than 60 beds for alumni guests, attendees may reserve hotel rooms from a variety of hotel blocks SMWC has made available.
